“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

The mark of the beast will be an end-times identification required by the Antichrist. The Bible says it will be a mark in someone’s right hand or in their forehead. Without this mark a person will not be able to buy or sell. In these tumultuous times there is no telling what the mark may include besides buying or selling. It will probably eliminate going to the doctor, renting a home, travelling, voting, and attending church. The 501(c)3 churches will have to abide with the rules the government imposes to keep their doors open. One of the rules will be requiring the members to have the “mark” to attend services.
There is much controversy on what the mark will actually be, but taking the Bible literally, it shows we may be on the precipice of knowing what the mark is and being forced to take the mark or suffer the consequences.
The Fear of the Virus leads to Control
The Corona Virus has been a test to see how much the people of the world can be pushed into doing and how much control they will put up with. The governments in some countries are implementing “vaccination passports.” If you do not have one of these passports saying you have been vaccinated, you cannot travel about in your own or other countries. If you leave you will not get back into your own country as you may find you cannot return without having it.
The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been working on a microchip to implant in humans that can detect viruses. Retired U.S. Colonel Matt Hepburn, an army infectious disease physician who is involved with the pandemic research did an interview on 60 Minutes. He says a microchip that would monitor the human body for signs of the virus would be wonderful as the U.S. Defense Department personnel and their dependents have had more than 250,000 infected.
Could This be the Mark?
Chips to be inserted under our skin is one of the rapidly growing areas in biomedical sciences. The vial the Colonel held up on the television program 60 Minutes during an interview was full of a green tissue-like gel which contained the tiny chip. The chip tells if there is anything going on inside the body like a car’s “check engine” light and signals you are going to be sick tomorrow. Will we be forced to have this chip implanted by our government?

In a 60 Minutes interview, Pentagon researchers claim they’ve created a subdermal device that will detect COVID-19 when inserted under the skin, and other disease-fighting technologies.

Christians and non-Christians alike are wondering if the microchip is the Mark of the Beast. When a microchip is mandated, worldwide by the one-world government leader, then that chip could very well be the mark. So far we have not been mandated to take a chip by a man who appears to do all kinds of miracles and signs and wonders, (2 Thessalonians 2:9).
It is most definitely the precursor to the mark and it is laying the groundwork and preparing the world for the end times. For many decades someone has linked every major technological advancement to something in the book of Revelation.
Will some of this technology be used by Satan and the Antichrist? Absolutely. Could the mark of the beast be a microchip implant? Well it could be, but at this time the DARPA microchip is not the mark. Another microchip could very well be, depending on its’ capabilities. Our Lord is merciful and He will be sure anyone who takes the mark will be fully aware of what he/she is doing. They will have their minds given over to a reprobate mind.
As bad as things seem to be getting we are not entering the tribulation as of yet. There is a sequence of events that, according to the Bible, must occur:
|
• Tribulation and Persecution of the saints at the hands of world leaders inspired by Satan will be first.
• Antichrist to be revealed secondly.
• Then the mark of the beast required.
|
So as you can see all of this has not occurred but the birth pangs are beginning.
|
“All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”
|
Praise God the Bible says in Matthew 24:13 that:
|
“All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”
